What is Slippage?
Slippage occurs when the price at which an order is executed differs from the expected price.
Explanation:
It often happens in fast-moving markets where there is high volatility or low liquidity.
Practical Example of Slippage:
A trader places an order to buy a stock at $50, but due to market volatility, the order is executed at $51.
